The new rankings may objectively be better. However I still would have liked to gain the rank of Major on the battlefield, rather than as an overnight batch update on a server. It's just not the same feeling.
So what, in that case the worst case is having played a couple games..
Also I'm an eternal optimist and believer in humankind.
The only thing I don't like is the 2 player format; I never play 2 player games. If it was a 6 player death-match in Escalating, and the winner gets premium then I'd ...

I understand I can deploy on my own territories as well as team mate's territories ...
I like the map!! As an *addition* obviously, not as a replacement of the current Europe map.
Further comments:
